The only certainties in this world, a famous quip says, are death and taxes. No group in America weds the two like Planned Parenthood. The indisputable head of the abortion industry, they boast of more than 400,000 abortions a year – at least ten times the capacity of Times Square. And they do it while raking in nearly 40% of their $2 billion in income from taxpayers.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act that just passed the House of Representatives is the best opportunity to stop forced taxpayer funding of Big Abortion since 2017, when a similar effort fell short by one vote. As the Republican majority works through budget reconciliation, all the Democrats’ old lies are re-emerging: “Women will lose critical health care.” “Planned Parenthood does more than abortion.” More than ever, they fall flat.
For the longest time, it seemed certain Planned Parenthood was “too big to fail” and politically untouchable. At over a century old, they’ve outlived scandal after scandal: multi-million-dollar payouts to settle Medicaid fraud charges. Dozens of employee lawsuits alleging racial discrimination. Their eugenics-driven foundress, Margaret Sanger, getting cast under the bus during 2020’s summer of unrest. Even – horrific as it is – the revelation of their selling freshly harvested organs of aborted babies for thousands of dollars apiece in incentives.
The abortion giant not only survived – the subsidies taxpayers were forced to pay increased to more than $700 million, including about half a billion from Medicaid.
They’ve survived in part by grossly exaggerating their importance as a health care provider of last resort for poor women – for instance, allowing the public to think they provide mammograms (they never have). They cling to this fiction as a shield, even while their own reports show massive declines in everything from contraception to pap smears. Except abortions, of course. Those are at record level. When a pregnant woman enters Planned Parenthood looking for help, 97% of the time she is sold an abortion, rather than supported in parenting or planning for adoption.
Now, a new analysis by the Charlotte Lozier Institute estimates community health centers offering women’s health care outnumber Planned Parenthood locations (in-person and virtual) 15 to one nationwide. These include 5,500 federally qualified health centers, which provide comprehensive health care services to low-income and underserved populations, and 3,300 rural health clinics serving Medicaid and Medicare patients in areas particularly vulnerable to care shortages. That’s on top of thousands of pregnancy resource centers that provide free baby supplies, education and assistance…
Planned Parenthood KILLED 390,000 innocent unborn Americans in 2023. Meanwhile, they take $2 MILLION of your tax dollars. Every. Single. Day. This madness has to stop. Contact your U.S. Senators and Representative now (takes 30 seconds) and tell them to Defund Big Abortion NOW!
